Disable or avoid fake gps

Question

I have an Android app.

This program can detect fake positions.

But I want to avoid this problem by using Java programming.

Please help me.

Thanks

public static boolean isMockLocation(Location location) {
    return Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2 && location != null && location.isFromMockProvider();
}

//pass your location object here.
if(isMockLocation(location)){
//Restrict user
}elese{
//do whatever you want.
}

@MohammadaminNajafi You need to provide location object in this method and check isMocakLocation then you need to restrict user and in else part you do you code whatever you want. – Abhishek Hirapara Jan 07 '20 at 08:42
